does the copy keep the spellburst?

does the copy keep the spellburst?

Bad synergy with the prime, but i feel like we must not underestimate this card! There must be a few big demons still yet to be released that can make this card broken, and it tutors a card from your deck. Tutoring cards from hand/deck has previously been extremely strong. Just think about Patches the Pirate, Voidcaller and Call to Arms. Sure this is more of a late game card, but this gives so much mana discount. If you ONLY summoned a single Enhanced Dreadlord with this, you already saved 8 mana. 

Also in wild this can tutor Mal'Ganis and Voidlord. This is really good. also if your holding 1 Voidlord in hand, and you have 1 in deck. And you play Archwitch Willow you get 2 Voidlords on board. This cheaps out 18 mana! This card seems insane.

I totally see this in a Control Warrior deck. They can afford to wait some extra turns before comboing this with something worthwhile. At least, this is another card to build around. Warrior has been way too one dimensional since rotation. Everything they do depends too much on Risky Skipper.

I sleep comfortably at night knowing I shit on X amount of Big Priests, Mech/Odd Paladins, Big/Evolve Shamans, Mill Rogues, and other Secret/Quest Mages.

The deck is honestly fun, and in my mind, is what Wild is supposed to be along with all the decks/archetypes listed above. Bonkers “broken” only because they exist in Wild, and all around fun and enjoyable to play

That can't be correct because it is auto loss to QM and they are everywhere.

a concise battlecry package. All the lackey generators because lackeys are OP + maybe something like LAdy Vashj (probably not, she sucks), Marshspawn for more spells, the Lurker Below and other battlecry clears, etc.

Basically anything that generates value or fights for the board. I'm envisioning a pure value deck with some minor burn capabilities. Really, the one thing it currently lacks is proper healing (which hopefully gets fixed through Druid/Shaman dual cards)

On paper my battlecry core would be: EVIL Totem, Cable Rat, Sludge Slurper, the Author, Questing Explorer and Licensed Adventurer (or just one of the two), Kragg, and Erkh (for later in the game). That's about a 12-card core (can be tweaked further) that can be expanded with more lategame focussed battlecires like Hagatha, Lurker, or just something simple like Batrider.

the rest should be enough room for totems and spells (whichever performs better).

Not saying this is tier 1 material, but I think it has a better shot at beating the meta than current Battlecry shaman.

This seems really good with the newly revealed legendary. It's unfortunate that Bloodsworn Mercenary is still in standard, but i feel like this new card might be better, if there will be even more good rush minions shown. Just a good card.

I think you can open 9 normal packs and 10th to be golden to check if the guaranteed legendary from the first 10 packs from an expansion is true

But it's not fluffy at all :c

But if your deck is not filled with battlecry minions but instead with spells to trigger this guy, what are you going to do with the quest reward?

I will enjoy trying stupid combos with this, Leave me alone.

I just had the idea that maybe this could bring back Quest Shaman?...or at least open up new possibilities. If you run plenty of spells (which Shaman has some archetypal support for) you can run this as your main quest completion engine and maybe not have to run so many battlecry cards to make it work. As a result you can bypass the typical weakness of Quest Shaman which is being very easily pushed off the board with no way to recover (especially since MCT has passed).

Stuff like Torrent and the AoO Elemental that discovers spells are fantastic for this.  You basically have a recycleable ping spammer that gets bettter after finishing the quest. Maybe you can even incorporate a totem package since EVIL Totem is already a staple. Add a few more totems and the 0-cost totem buffers (better thanks to Totem Goliath) and you have plent of cheap spells to recycle the author (also gives you something to do before finishing the quest)

 Basically Quest SHaman could return as a very value focussed deck that uses this guy for boardcontrol and pressure.

Fuck it, I'm gonna try it, it's not like Shaman can get any worse.

lol as if quest shaman had an issue finishing quest with infinite lackey generation lmao

"One shot, one kill" over and over and over.

Being on par with a classic legendary that sees play in 1 deck per year isn't a good thing.
But hey, that deck is currently a good one!

Also when <=> whenever?

I definitely won't mind dropping this card in packs.

However, for Aggro purposes, Captain Greenskin is still better, because Krastinov often risks to die in order to give you the buff, while as Aggro you actually want to face-tank to defend your minions.

Krastinov is better in Midrange.

Holly shit. Quest rogue might comeback in wild

Excited to get this off of Boggspine Knuckles :)

Completely forgot about those Two, thx! 

I guess Wrenchcalibur might become even more dangerous, considering that you can use it to clear the Board for the Doctor, who then in return keeps buffing your Weapon.

And in the Meantime, your Opponent drowns in Bombs. 

Only really good in old quest rogue, but otherwise meh.

Except in Pirate decks you might even run both or just Greenskin. But the Rush IS spicy

Quote From Live4vrRdieTryn

Big Sham takes more skill than you would think. Anyway, look at both decks' win rates. Ok I win this argument.

 

But thanks for the laugh

I did, big shaman has a 66.5% winrate and quest mage has a 65% winrate on hsreplay, based off the highest recorded decklists.

What is this supposed to show?

And what argument was there to begin with? All I see in this thread is someone who can't find their way to the salt thread.

Oooh, I see meme OTK potential here xD

I guess MarkMcKz has it already on his shortlist.
